The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

Chapter 468

Trade his and his family's lives for Stephen's? It was not worth it at all!

Nolan wanted to save Stephen so that his family could thrive in the future. If Stephen lived but not his family, everything would be meaningless.

It was then that Nolan finally realized Ethan was never going to save Stephen.

"Fine. I'll be taking my leave. Please excuse me," he said after a sigh.

Just as he got up and wanted to leave, the South Regent held back his urge to laugh and asked, "Are you not staying for dinner?"

Nolan glared at him and then walked away.

He had lost all his appetite. He had to go back to keep an eye on Stephen, preventing him from doing anything stupid.

Watching Nolan walk away with a sulky face, the South Regent laughed even louder.

After that, the South Regent, Jeremy, Andy, and Marcus stayed back and had dinner with Ethan. It was around 8 p.m. when they made their way down the mountain. Ethan assured them the guards would not stop them if they took the main road.

Meanwhile, Nolan returned to the hospital, where Stephen was still on the bed, motionless as ever, looking like a corpse. Simon and Rachel had arrived by his side.
